Seth is in Spain to spend time with his famous father and to remember what it’s like to be somewhere no one knows his family name. He isn’t expecting Ramona, or the way she looks at him, the secrets she carries, or the fact that she’s clearly running from something she hasn’t named.
Ramona has her reasons for staying invisible. She’s tired of people who want to know her story. Seth is warm and steady, and he makes her forget why keeping her distance is safer. The man following her hasn’t noticed her distraction yet.
✓ Runaway heroine hiding a secret ✓ Barcelona backdrop ✓ Slow-simmer, guarded-heart attraction ✓ Hero with famous-family baggage of his own ✓ A quiet suspense thread neither of them sees coming
